We help California wineries deliver wine to customers around the world.

Compliance, duties and delivery. Easy. No drama.

One goal: make international easy.

For our winery clients, it comes down to peace of mind and ease of use.

We started in 2015 with a handful of Napa winery clients and one problem to solve: help them deliver wine directly to customers in China.

Today, Gliding Eagle helps more than 250 ultra-premium California wineries deliver wine to 65+ destinations worldwide. International is all we do. We have built the expertise and software to simplify compliance, duties and delivery, with a 99.9% success rate. No drama.

Two innovations. One simple experience.

One Price: For most destinations, our price includes the full landed cost: compliance fees, duties, taxes, and delivery. No guesswork. No surprise calls from customs.

One App: Get an instant quote, check destination requirements, and place an order in one place. No back-and-forth emails. No phone tag.

Every order starts with one question: Can it get there?

Each of the 65+ global destinations we cover has its own wine import rules. You need to know:

  • Is wine allowed?
  • What will it cost?

Intl App answers both in seconds—for DTC, Samples, and Commercial Export orders. No download. No account required.

For most destinations, your quote shows the full landed cost, including duties and taxes. The price you see is the price you pay—no surprise charges at delivery.

It is easy to create an order
  1. Get a quote for the destination, with duties and taxes included.
  2. Enter the details and pay — order information, recipient, delivery preferences.
  3. Finalize. Upload the required documents. We take it from there.

Intl App works on any device, from phone to desktop, and connects to your own systems through our API.

Our winery clients trust us for results.

Great wineries do not hand their allocations to a courier and hope for the best. They need every bottle accounted for, every shipment delivered, and every customer taken care of.

That is our job. For more than ten years, we have focused on nothing else. The results speak for themselves. We openly share our process.

Wine bottle with label showing unique ID

One more thing...

Each bottle is uniquely tracked.

When a bottle arrives at our facility, we give it its own label: a unique 12-digit ID and QR code. On every bottle. That ID follows the bottle from our facility to the person who opens the box.

We built this system from the ground up to provide:

  • Confidence in every bottle’s authenticity.
  • Full digital visibility across its global journey.
How it's built

Built for the cloud. Each bottle, package, shipment, and order receives a unique 12-digit alphanumeric ID and QR code. From winery to customer, every step is tracked.

Built for wine. Our system was designed specifically for the wine industry. It supports product authenticity and gives you full visibility across the global supply chain.

Fast and secure. Our cloud-based software is delivered through a global network for speed and reliability. It supports modern web and security standards, including HTTP/3 and TLS 1.3. Our public web infrastructure earns an A+ rating from the Qualys SSL Labs SSL Server Test.
